Are you still looking? I am in the states but have a chance to upgrade. I just bought this Morse Ceili new in September.

I so agreeHi Gary,
I have no "cowboy song" to submit, but I'm longing to buy this book when ready.
Between gifts and personal boughts, I have now all of your anglo tutors. I find them very clear, "sober" (I mean without many "disturbing" pics or anecdotes). There are plenty of tunes ; I find them accurately chosen and sorted. Congratulations for this well-done work.
So ! When this book will be ready, I would be glad to know it.

I am strongly considering attending this years Boxwood Festival in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. Just wondering if any of the Anglo players here have attended in the past. I just started playing in September so I want to be sure this would fit. It started as a Flute event but has grown considerably. They offer slow playing each day and a Concertina instructor.

Any thoughts?

I really appreciate all the suggestions and will probably try several different ones.
And yes I was a math teacher. But I will have to go slow on any music theory because I am learning so many new things at the same time.
I am really glad I was directed to Gary Coovers books because I can at least feel like I am making some progress.

There is an online music theory course here https://www.coursera.org/learn/edinburgh-music-theory/home/welcome
It assumes no prior knowledge. It's run by Edinburgh University.
You can do the whole course for free, if you wish to get a a certificate then you have to pay a fee of £37
Thank you Theo, I have signed up for this. May be more then I can digest right now. But I will give it a go.

So here I am, 66 years old and just playing my first instrument. I am using Gary Coovers books but I really would like to read music. I live in a very remote area. There are music instructors but no concertina players. If anyone can suggest an app, a way to practice reading music that would be great. All suggestions are welcome
-
So glad you mentioned this. I just donated. I hadn’t even thought of it.

I found Bob to be really very nice when I contacted him about my interest before it was listed on eBay. Unfortunately it was not in my budget. I am sure if you have interest in this instrument you should contact him.
I also know that ivory or rosewood can cause real issues especially if you are crossing borders.

I have a Dipper #47 C/G 30 button, wood ends, I'm thinking of selling ..
I might be interested if this person passes

Blast, this thread is like reading a murder mystery with the last 20 pages missing.
Exactly

Thank you, Wolf! Both for the music and for fixing my misplaced and hijacked thread. This really helps

ahhWelcome to the clubWelcome to the club[/quote justa wonderful club

Kinda so of my right little finger is doing fine
-
I cannot believe how much every day when I pick up 'Sadie and play what I can there is so much joy.
-
I agree with Jody......don't do it....don't shy away from something that seems hard right now.....I know you want to progress fast but you must realize it takes a long time. Progress will be slow(it is for all of us) but do it correctly! You will thank yourself later.
What tune are you trying to play that is giving you trouble. I find that most adult try to play tunes to hard for them. If this is so, put it aside and come back to it a year from now to see how it goes. Some tune just don't work on the anglo.
Have fun!

Sad thing is it is not anything very difficult. Just Fevre Jacque from Gary Coover's book. When I try to hit the little finger it comes out really weak. But I appreciate the encouragement and will keep trying.

Just to let you know that my tutor is still there as a free down load if anybody wants it.I was having trouble finding the above mentioned tutorial -- here's the current link.
It was recorded for Anglo beginners and is a help for twenty button playing.
It was the way I found to enable my left hand to accompany my right.

So isn’t still available somewhere? This link is not work8 g for me. Thank you for this
-
So I understand which buttons on an Anglo are supposed to be played with my little finger but I find I dont do very well on my left hand for the second to the last button . I do much better if I use my ring finger. Is this verboten or sacrilegious? Will I be developing a terrible habit?
-
I hadn't been aware of this song as yet.
The High Ranters' version seems to be unfortunately not available in Germany - however the banjo version is very likable and gets me a bit hooked on the song, will give it a try I guess.
Thanks for the hint!
If you would be so kind to post a recording if you do
-
Thank you very much Gary. I will listen to those links and hope you find a quieter place to record.
-
So did
this finally sell? How much?
-
Thank you so much for these.
Right now I am trying to learn "Nancy" from the 1,2,3 book but can't find the tune I the internet. Does it exist somewhere? I really need to hear something before I can play it.
-
Just want to thank you, Gary Coover. I have been playing Concertina for three months. It is my very first instrument. I attended NESI this year and Marta Vogel recommended your books and then Jody Kruskal explained some of how you put them together. They have been a godsend and I look forward to Cowboy songs

Maybe you could include the other perspective.
